  InspiredByMorphy: 6. ...Bd6 puts black safely up a pawn.
May-18-05   soberknight: <IBM> I wouldn't call that safe. White castles and puts pressure on the center with Black's d-pawn unable to advance. It's similar to an Evans gambit.

Black's critical mistake was 11... Bf5? He had to try ...Ne7, hoping to castle.
